Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 323 Order

   Liu Jian glanced at Fang Jifan, still stroking his beard, but wanted to laugh in his heart!

  This kid still wants to take advantage of the old man.

   I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!

   At this moment, finally suppressing this guy's thoughts, Liu Jian is determined to expand the results of the battle.

  He smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Fang."

  Fang Jifan also laughed, but a little helplessly: "Grand Liu, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

   "This... this..." Liu Jian sat in the first place, with a certain poise, showing the majesty of the Shoufu University.

Liu Jian said slowly: "This rural examination has made your Xishan Academy famous in the capital. I am an old man, so I can't help but advise you, the so-called tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. You must not be young and vigorous Dao, you know, in short, keep a low profile in everything, and never give anyone a handle."

   "..." Fang Jifan hesitated, it is not in Fang Jifan's nature to be low-key.

   Besides, now that I have reached this point, I can still be a good person, ah, no, can I be a low-key person?

   "What?" Liu Jian put on airs, if you don't let Fang Jifan submit to you today, the old man, a scholar of the first assistant university, will be in vain.

  Fang Jifan was ashamed, looking at Liu Jian's stern gaze, he began to suspect that Liu Jie had entered his door wall and became a member of his disciples and grandchildren, why did he feel like he had attracted an uncle.

   "Okay, okay, that's exactly what my nephew thinks. My nephew has always been a very low-key person."

  Fang Jifan smiled apologetically, but this smile was a little stiff.

   More than a dozen new disciples and grandchildren all looked at their master intently, as if they were curious about the rumored master.

   But looking at it today, it seems that Shigong is still a reasonable person, and he is not as bad-tempered as the rumors outside, and he doesn't know his superiors and inferiors.

  It seems that the rumors in the market are really unbelievable.

  Liu Jian was satisfied: "It would be great if you have this insight, well, it's time for the old man to enter the palace."

  He was full of excitement and joy, thinking that his son had given him a good fight, and he ran out of the palace. This joke was really serious, so he had to enter the palace quickly.

  He stood up, and Fang Jifan hurriedly said courteously: "My nephew will send you off to Mr. Liu."

  Liu Jian nodded and smiled. This kid finally found his position. When he didn't float up, he was still very good.

  Only Ouyang Zhi and the others were sullen, but they always felt that today... went too smoothly.

  That's right...it's too smooth, this is really weird.

  Thirteen disciples and grandchildren continued to look at the master curiously.

  This master... is very knowledgeable.

  Seeing that Liu Jian had got up, Fang Jifan even wanted to help him immediately.

  Liu Jian waved his hands and said, "You can still walk, but you are polite."

   As he spoke, he was about to cross the threshold of the lobby with a smile on his face.

  At this moment, someone rushed in rashly.

   is Deng Jian.

  Deng Jianmei said happily: "Young master, young master... Many people came outside to ask for money. Many of the candidates who made the list are in our Fang family. They finally found out, saying that they are congratulations to the high school..."

  Liu Jian smiled and squinted at Fang Jifan.

  To be honest, he envies Fang Jifan quite a lot. Six Jinshi disciples and thirteen disciples are worthy of praise in any dynasty.

Fang Jifan was furious, his eyes burst into flames, he kicked Deng Jian fiercely, and scolded angrily: "A dog-like thing, how dare you ask for money from our Fang family? "

   "This... this..." Deng Jian was kicked, and immediately looked aggrieved, like a bereaved dog, so aggrieved that tears came out.

Fang Jifan suddenly became angry, and said sharply: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Liu Gong teach me to keep a low profile and never be complacent? You came to please them and told them that the Fang family has nothing to like. These **** like Liu Jie, but they just won a mere bullshit, what kind of joy is it? I think it’s not bad if I don’t smoke them, and I want to ask for money. You go out and tell them that within half a cup of tea, if Fang There are still people outside the house who dare to talk about money. Tell them, Fang Jifan has been taught by Mr. Liu, and he has changed his mind and kept a low profile. , I, Fang Jifan, are an honest man, and we will do what we say, so go away!"

   "..."

  The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

  Deng Jian already swished and ran away.

  Liu Jian's old face twitched, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "Xiao Fang, you..."

  He... suddenly felt a little stuck.

"Grand Liu..." Fang Jifan showed flattery again in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile, "I don't know what other teachings Mr. Liu has? How about I write them all down in the future, and I will take them out from time to time, recite them day and night, and remember them all. in the heart."

   "..." Liu Jian was silent for a long time, and suddenly said seriously: "There is nothing to teach, the old man is going back to the palace."

  When I walked out of Fang's house, the front of Fang's house was extremely cold, not to mention people, not a single ghost was there.

   It seems that Deng Jian said that there are many people who announce the good news, but they never came and left no trace.

  Fang Jifan arranged a sedan chair, and sent Liu Jian into the sedan chair respectfully.

  Liu Jian sat firmly in the sedan chair, before the curtain was drawn down, Fang Jifan poked his head and said, "Mr. Liu really has nothing to teach you?"

  Liu Jian pursed his lips and stared deeply at Fang Jifan for a while, then shook his head.

  Fang Jifan felt that Liu Jian had something to hide: "Mr. Liu..."

   Liu Jian suddenly said with a straight face: "Go away, I don't want to talk to you!"

   "..."

  Liu Jian was very rude and rolled down the car curtain.

Watching Liu Jian go, Fang Jifan raised his head, looked at the vast snow, let out a breath of white air, and suddenly felt that it is really not easy for a person who is shining all over to keep a low profile. .

   Not long after Fang Jifan came back to sit at home, an oral order came from the palace, ordering Fang Jifan and Wang Shouren to enter the palace to have an audience.

  The mere rural examination has obviously attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor.

  Fang Jifan didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly brought Wang Shouren into the palace.

  …

   Snapper!

  Here, Emperor Hongzhi and Prince Zhu Houzhao had been waiting here.

   However, His Royal Highness is kneeling.

  Zhu Houzhao didn't know where he went wrong today. Anyway, his father brought him out of Kunning Palace with a pleasant smile, and his expression was not quite right. When he arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, his father pointed directly to the corner.

  Zhu Houzhao was very honest, without saying a word, he knelt down in the corner with a slap, without any sense of dissonance, no matter what mistakes he made, there would be nothing wrong with kneeling.

  Emperor Hongzhi began to wait anxiously. He had looked down at the list many times. To be honest, the result was shocking, which can even be described as appalling.

   You can wait left and right, but Fang Jifan and Wang Shouren don't come.

  So, he finally remembered Zhu Houzhao, gave him a hard look and said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

   "My minister knows." Zhu Houzhao said dejectedly: "My minister stole and killed the cow."

  Emperor Hongzhi's complexion finally looked a little better, and he was still aware of his mistakes, but obviously, Emperor Hongzhi blamed him not only for this, but... for not living up to expectations!

  Even Liu Jie is so promising, you are the prince, the future emperor, but what are you like?

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was still ashen.

  Zhu Hou looked at his father's expression, was too frightened to show his breath, and said tremblingly: "And... my son defamed my father."

   "Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao coldly, have you ever slandered me?

  Zhu Houzhao was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "It's even more wrong to correct the order in the name of the father..."

   "Correct decree... Fake imperial decree?" Emperor Hongzhi's chest rose and fell, his face was colder than the cold wind outside, and he glared at Zhu Houzhao furiously, "Bastard, what did you do?"

  Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that his father hadn't found out yet, so he hurriedly said, "No, I didn't do anything."

   "If you don't tell me, I will kill you!" Emperor Hongzhi slammed the case.

  After weighing it over and over again, Zhu Houzhao finally said: "I...I carved a jade seal with a radish, which is a bit like Father's..."

  Emperor Hongzhi had already started to tremble.

  What does it mean? It’s a bit like privately engraving a seal. In whichever dynasty or generation, even the prince, this is a crime of death. Many princes in ancient times were either deposed or executed because of their arrogance.

  If Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what his son was, he really thought that Zhu Houzhao had such great ambitions.

  How could such a prodigal **** be born, and I only gave birth to one?

  Emperor Hongzhi sternly said, "What are you carving these for?"

   "I made an imperial decree..." Zhu Houzhao shook his head, as if he was ready to be discovered.

   "What imperial decree?" Emperor Hongzhi felt like jumping a little.

  In this world, no one dares to be so rebellious. Well, even if you, Zhu Houzhao, the prince, are really ambitious, I respect you as a man. At least you still want to be the emperor, and you still know what it means to be organized and premeditated.

  You are good, you use a radish to carve a seal?

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao and shouted, "Say it!"

  Under the angry eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao shrank his neck, and said: "It's just an imperial order. In the name of the father, the son-in-law added the son-in-law."

   "..."

  Carved a treasure seal with a radish, forged an imperial decree, and then appointed yourself an official?

   "Sealed what?"

  Zhu Houzhao seemed terrified and a little helpless. Now, he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to say: "The dean of Xishan College, and the commander-in-chief of Xishan..."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help stroking his forehead with his hands, feeling a severe headache.

  No prospect!

   "Where is the order?" Emperor Hongzhi finally remembered.

   "This...it...it, I went to Xishan to read it a long time ago, and now it is framed and hung under the plaque of "Teacher of All Ages" in Minglun Hall of Xishan College."
